In reply to the discussion: It's getting weird here....white privilege....rape threads a month ago....it seems a bit much [View all]LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)I don't think that discussions regarding equality and civil rights is "pitting one group against another". However, I can certainly understand the base temptation to conflate the two in order to better minimize and trivialize the contrary opinions others may hold without actually addressing them.
Additionally, I absolutely understand your dependence on a self-constructed cross from which to hang yourself in the melodramatic martyrdom of the Oppressed & Beleaguered White Male (not even a White Male History Month!!! The horror!). Yet it seems to me that the individuals so righteously ranting against particular topics appearing on DU would be more than clever enough to use the auto-trash function... unless of course, they are merely attempting that very divisiveness they indict others for.
